New #1 Contenders Match Revealed for October 27 WWE RAW

WWE just dropped a major update for Monday’s episode of Raw—and it involves a high-stakes showdown that could reshape the Intercontinental Championship picture.

In new footage shared by WWE, Adam Pearce ran through the lineup for the October 27 edition of Raw, but he didn’t stop there. At the end of the segment, Pearce revealed that Rusev will go one-on-one with Penta in a match to determine the next challenger for Dominik Mysterio’s Intercontinental Championship.

Raw is already loaded with big moments: CM Punk and Jey Uso are scheduled to face off just days before their World Heavyweight Title clash, and the women’s division is taking center stage with Nikki Bella facing Roxanne Perez, plus Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defending the tag titles against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.

But it’s this last-minute addition that could steal the spotlight—and it proves WWE isn’t done stacking the deck. WWE Raw airs live at 8 PM ET on Netflix from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

Raw is already stacked, and here’s everything confirmed for the October 27 show:

• Rusev vs. Penta – No. 1 Contender’s Match for the Intercontinental Championship
• Nikki Bella vs. Roxanne Perez
• Women’s Tag Team Championship: Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Bayley & Lyra Valkyria
• CM Punk & Jey Uso face-off ahead of Saturday Night’s Main Event
• New tag champs AJ Styles & Dragon Lee set to appear
• Dominik Mysterio storyline continuation with two titles on the line
• Fallout from Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed’s attack on Seth Rollins
